Absolutely disappointed. I read alot of review before coming here. Was actually excited to explore fish since this is a coastal area and hence my expectations on freshness of fish was maximum.
What I liked? We ordered Squid(Calamari) masala fry - it was quite decent. Samdale tawa fry - batter for fish was quite good but felt Over cooked. Fish wasn’t that fresh. Seemed to be frozen.
What I hated? Crab Sukka- B.S!! There was no meat in the crab. Unusually meat melted away :( Thali - this is my perspective, taste differ person to person. This was probably worst coastal Thali I ever had. I have tried Kerala Meals, Mangalorean, Karwar style, Goan, and Mumbai fish Thali. This was quite below standard. Gravy is suppose to be the soul of Thali but it was too tangy. Which over power the whole meal for me.
I wouldn’t recommend this place if you want to explore Thali’s.
If you want to explore only fish try Prawns, Seer/king fish, Mackarel/Bangda,sandale, Silver fish. This is slightly safer bet but don’t expect it to be fresh all the time.
Added butter milk to my meal, was refreshing for the humid weather.
Do check out pictures shared.
Gokarna has slightly disappointed me today. I expect this place to have warm earthy feel...
Read moreThis is one among the best seafood outlets that i have dined at, during my stay in gokarna. The unexpected timing of my visit to gokarna was during the off season. For the same reason, most of the outlets that I visited, lacked the vibe and the taste. The crowd was completely Indian. Not a single, Non-Indian. But this place, compensated for it all. The dishes that we tried, were the fish thali and prawn thali. Both were really good. The prawns thali was exceptional. We also tried out their fish rava fry. Same, was one of the best i have tried, yet. Maybe i should also mention that i haven't had a great experience l, with rava fish fry. This may have been the best one yet.
Note: I got to try food at the shacks in gokarna. Maybe it was because of the off season, ; maybe it was the lack of interest by the people who ran these shacks. The food tasted really bad or blank. But at Open house fish land, everything was really good. One among the must visit places. They do arrange for beer, if...
Read moreGokarna ❤️ is not only a famous pilgrimage destination but also offers you with beautiful beaches and delectable food, to be precise sea food😍❤️ And one such place we visited was OPEN HOUSE FISH LAND. Though the place seems to be very small, mind you! don't go by its ambience. The delectable sea food and the reasonable prices will surely make your heart go lalala🤪 . We ordered a plate of KING FISH TAWA FRY: To our surprise there were 3 pieces in a plate just at Rs 350! 😭😭😭 and the taste? I went mad, plump fish, smeared with masala. The Masala seeped its way into the flesh giving it a zesty bite ❤️ . Next we ordered CRAB SUKKA: Priced at Rs.180! Mellow flavours of coconut carrying right amount of spices along with crab, you can feel the freshness of coriander and chilli at the back of the throat Silky velvety texture of crab meat and spicy flavours of sukka will definitely please your palate!❤️ Undoubtedly the BEST SEA FOOD we've...
